Cron作业没有运行特定的PHP文件

Question

I have two PHP cron jobs running. In one cron job, am trying to open a file and write some data into it which works fine.

But in the other file, I have added an error_log() statement which is not getting printed into the log file. But the error_log file is getting updated when i manually run this php file. What could be the problem here that it doesn't write to the error_log.txt file only for cron job cases. [Note: The error_log.txt gets updated when i run the php file manually ]

Working cron:

<?php

$fp = fopen('/home/victor/public_html/victor_php/test/test.txt', 'a');
fwrite($fp, '    Cron test job   ');
fclose($fp);

?>

Not Working cron:

<?php

error_log("Cron1 test job",0);

?>

Answer 1

I just found that the error_log given in my cron job was logging into the error_log of root directory. When we run the php file manually the logs get logged into the error_log file in the current directory, and this is not the case with cron jobs. That was the confusion.

Thank you all for the support guys.
